That Sabrosa looks to be a cool bike. Quick disconnect pedals and handle bars that rotate 90 degrees at the push of a button. Love the 8spd internal hub as well. I think I will be riding that to work next year.

As far as the new Sensor, not sure if I like the fact the increased the travel front and rear. The Marathon is/was an XC bike and now the Sensor is sort of getting away from that and looks like a freeride bike. I think maybe this is supposed to replace the Force bikes. At least I hope.

The official story is that it's simpler, but yeah it could be for cost cutting, or the creaking
issue, or the set bolts backing out issue, or it could just be lighter.

Be nice if it did all those things!

Very sweet lookin rig tho!!!

I don't know if I like the slope of the toptube where it meets the seattube. It is nice looking though. I can't wait to see more bikes.
